A female student of Bright SHS in Akyem Kukurantumi has accused an invigilator of preventing her to write exams for going out to maintain menstrual Hygiene.
The female student said she menstruated out of panic when the examination started hence requested to visit the washroom which she was granted but was denied opportunity to write the science practicals Paper upon her return for relatively keeping long maintaining her menstrual flow.
Speaking to Kasapa News she said; “I was very tensed and panicking when the exams paper was put before me, so I menstruated at the exams hall then asked permission to visit the washroom to change myself but when I returned the invigilators said he will not allow me to write alleging that I want to smuggle foreign material to the exams hall but I had nothing on me. So I was furious and I challenged the invigilator that he can’t toy with my life by preventing me from writing the paper. So I begged him to allow me to write but he said I have spent more than five minutes outside so he will not allow me to write. He held my uniform and my tie, pulled me out. So I didn’t write the paper, it is evident at WAEC that I didn’t write the Paper. None of our Teachers and Managers were allowed entry to the premises to help us out”
Bright SHS has been in the news in recent times for wrong reasosns. The students had attacked WAEC officials over strict supervision of ongoing WASSCE examination in their schools.
A journalist with the Daily Graphic in the Region who had gone to the school to report has also been assaulted by the students leaving him with severe injuries.
